Like anything else, it's only simple if you know how to do it. I worked as a pump rebuilder - but son is not experienced. 1/6 of a turn of the pump head screw is probably all he needs to pass - but I'm not in Colorado.
The IDI pre-Powerstroke Fords with 6.9s or 7.3 International Harvester engines use the same Roosamaster/Stanadyne DB2 pumps as the 6.2 and 6.5 GM diesels (up to 93). I've got versions of all of them. My newest IDI is my early 94 F250 - the last 7.3 IDI turbo they made before changing to DI Powerstroke in late 94. I could turn a pump down with 10 minutes work - but a person who was not experienced could really get into a mess.
By using a heavy kerosene mix, it seems the effect would be the same as turning the fuel-delivery down. The injection pump meters fuel by volume. By volume, there is less "fuel" in kerosene than there is with #2 diesel.

#2 Diesel fuel at 60 degrees F weighs 820-950 kg. per cub. meter.

Kerosene at 60 degrees F weights 817 kg. per cub. meter.

Gasoline at 60 degrees F weighs 737.22 kg. per cub. meter
